I am looking at a 2006 skeeter 20i and a yamaha hpdi 250hp. Any reviews on this boat would be great! I am looking for a boat that is great in rough water but also has some speed so i thought the 20i would be better than the 21i, let me know if i am correct. Also how is the yamaha vmax hpdi? Is that a good engine? Does it get good gas mileage?(i am sure it will get better gas mileage than my 1995 engine). any reviews on both parts would be awsome! Thanks!!

The i class boat is a good boat in rough water. Ist not the fastest boat that skeeter makes but you have to figure the i boat is heavier than for say a zx225. The hpdi's are a great engine in my opinion. We sell Skeeters powered by Yamaha at our dealership and hardly ever have a issue with it. I tell people all the time, the only time a VZ motor is in the shop is either routine maint. or the engine has gone down. Every one has their own opinion but a hpdi and the optimax are both fine motors. It all depends what your into. With skeeters, yamaha is your motor. And yes it will get ALOT better fuel milage than a 1995 engine of any breed

I am a marine mechanic in Waco, Tx. If that boat interest you then there is a 2007 skeeter zx250 with a 300 hpdi with 25 hours that is spotless. Ready to go. Get on boattrader.com and do a search for that boat in the 76712 zip code. It is red and white. Maybe you would want to take a look at it.

how fast will a 20i with a 250hp go vs a skeeter zx225? thanks for the help!

I have a 21i w/ a 250 HPDI series 2 and it does 74

It really varies from boat setup and the driver. Average is 73 upwards to 79 and 80mph

thanks so much for the replies. Last question. Wich boat is better for the best of speed and rough water. The zx225 with a 225hp or a 20i with a 250hp? I am trying to decide which skeeter will best fit what i want. any recommendations. Thanks again!!
